Gino playing 4D chess yet again, selling him at below market value, so we he can get £££ from the sell on clause when he’s sold for more.
Wow Moog, so double transfer swoop incoming then if I've read between the lines correctly... Mostapha Hallou Ben Mee Say hello to Hallou, welcome aboard Ben!!
The rumour of Dennis and Sarr in a swap deal is getting bigger. Personally don’t think it should just be a straight swap. Needs to be Dennis + £10mil for Sarr in my opinion.
Seeing lots on Twitter (various tweets) on Forest wanting to swap Sarr with Dennis. Clearly it would have to involve cash too, as we value Sarr at around £27m (Villa deal in the summer suggested this was the fee). Forest have only paid £10m for Dennis so far (I believe) so they would have to stump up at least £15m too. So Dennis plus £15m for Sarr. Would you do a deal like that?
Seems to be The Mirror and being picked by WD18 and VotV. Nottingham Forest news, Nigerian Soccer. Quite a lot of outlets really.
What is not to like? We make £15m profit and sign a better player. For all the talk of Dennis' attitude issues, we never really saw them on the pitch (bar maybe that game where we blocked him going to AFCON). Sarr sulks and mopes the majority of the time he is playing.
Would Sarr really want to go to Forest and face another relegation battle ? https://mobile.twitter.com/thewatfordway/status/1612059829279019012
Just don’t see this happening. The squad was happy to see the back of Dennis in the summer with a number of players reportedly having a party to celebrate him leaving. Personality wise he’s a bad egg, agree he’d be a great signing on sporting side of things, but not worth upsetting the rest of the squad over.

I believe it was widely reported at the time. My friend who works directly with the first team would also regularly comment on how much of a c*** Dennis was. Said that he was so arrogant and often would humiliate general members of staff as well as younger players in the squad.
My one hope would be that Bilic would have a bit more authority and discipline than the likes of hodgson and Edwards.

Dennis has had attitude problems and falling outs both internationally and domestically pretty much everywhere he has been. Obviously there is a lot of rumour on the extent of those issues and the rumoured individual incidents but it’s pretty naive not to conclude that he is more likely than not a bad egg in a squad I personally would stay well away, I think the last thing we need right now is more egos. Pozzo won’t care and will do the deal if he thinks it makes sense economically though
To be fair I think the players celebrating Dennis leaving was reported in the Sun only which does make me think it’s bull. That said it keeps getting reported that he is trouble, and if there is even a grain of truth in that, we should steer clear
